Ham Delights

2 sticks margarine, softened
3 tbsp. poppy seeds
3 tbsp. prepared mustard
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 small onion chopped ( I grate or use minced onion)
Boiled ham (lunch meat)
mozzarella cheese slices or Swiss
2 pkg prepared pull apart rolls


Slice entire package of rolls lengthwise. Mix 1st 5 ingredients together and spread on both sides of the rolls. Add ham and cheese. Wrap in foil and bake at 350 until warm and cheese is melted or you can hat them in the microwave (do not wrap in foil if putting in the microwave)

*I like to use the pull apart rolls that come in a metal pan, but they are becoming hard to find*
